Narrative

During cold weather, the trunk lid will suddenly fall when reaching into the trunk. The lid does not need to be bumped for it to fall. I believe it can be inspected upon request. Safety at risk when it suddenly falls. My husband had the trunk lid fall on the base of his neck at the top of his spine when the trunk lid suddenly fell. I had the trunk lid fall on top of my head leaving a goose egg bump when loading luggage in the car. No the problem has not been reproduced by the mentioned entities. No the problem hasn’t been inspected by the mentioned entities. No. There were no warnings when the trunk lid suddenly fell.
